In Version 4.1 and later, we have added 2 features to allow users to "see" those items that they are not authorized to access and request authorization via the Home Page.

Access config variables have been added that allows the users request access to tiles to which they do not have access:

The Hidden Content list displays all element types that User is not authorized to view or that are marked as 'Not visible on Homepage'.

Settings in the Advanced tab in the External Reports Editor allow special handling of these elements.

In order for Users to request access via the Metric Insights system, you will need to set the following 4 variables to the correct LAPD options. This will allow Users to issue an online request for access to be posted to a URL for review. See next step.
